>>>>>Cajuns are different even in Louisiana, are they not?<<<<< Yes, not so very long ago Cajuns were looked down on, and the various do-gooders tried to eradicate their culture and language. Now, of course, that's changed, and Cajun culture is popular. French people who settled in New Orleans and along the Mississippi River before the diaspora from Acadie are not Cajun. They call themselves Creole, from the Spanish "criare", loosely translated it means "born here." There are white Creoles, who are upper crust and hoity-toity, and there are black Creoles, who are also upper crust and hoity-toity, but the cultures did not mingle until recently.
